The Portugal international turned up unannounced with his partner at Lifeshare, a homeless charity in the city centre, surprising visitors with clothing and food donations.

They then rolled up their sleeves and spent Christmas Eve dishing out hot meals to more than 100 people at the charity.

Dalot, 25, said: “I have lived in Manchester for over six years now and I’m proud to call this city my home.

“Unfortunately, homelessness is on the rise; as a family we want to raise awareness and also directly help people wherever we can.
